Sooooo tired.

I don't know what the deal is with me. I am 16 weeks along, third pregnancy. I am getting over being sick but I feel like this pregnancy has just been sucking the life outa me since the get-go. I have no appetite. I have to force myself to eat. I have not gained any weight, actually lost 4 four pounds. My (soon to be ex) cnm doesnt seem to be too worried about any of this. And I am wiped out, ALL the time. I could just lay in bed and sleep sleep sleep my life away.

Are any of you here with me on this? I went to whole foods today and bought some jay robb protein shake mix and some floradix iron and herbs supplements just in case I am starting to become anemic or protein deficient. My other 2 pregnancies were so much easier than this one.

Hi, I read your post and wanted to send a :hug.

Have the protein shake, iron and supplements helped at all? I hope so.

My SIL had a brutal PG that sucked her life energy from her. I was fortunate not to have it so extreme! I hope you are feeling better soon.

You sound like you're having a similar time to my first pregnancy. I lost a lot of weight and could hardly stay awake at work, so all bets were off at home. Eating was also a chore. I got through it, though, and you will too.

The protein sounds very helpful. I hope you start feeling more yourself soon.
